Hwang Hee-chan's team, Wolverhampton, is suffering from players' violent behavior following poor performance. In addition, coach Gary O'Neill will leave the team.

The Athletic, a global sports media outlet, reported on the 16th (Korea time) 'Matteus Cunha could be disciplined for assault.

The Athletic hit Ipswich Town security guard in the face in anger after the game 'Cunha. Ipswich believe the FA will investigate this.




Wolverhampton lost 1-2 to Ipswich in the round of 16 of the 2024-2025 English Premier League (EPL) at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton on the 15th. Wolverhampton have lost four official games in a row with the defeat and have not been out of the relegation zone. Hwang Hee-chan, who played as a substitute in the 37th minute of the second half, was also not enough to prevent his team's defeat.

However, apart from the defeat in the game, Wolverhampton's players' actions caused controversy once again. This time, ace Cunha's assault was controversial.

England's Der Sun also said 'Wolverhampton striker Matheus Cunha will be suspended for a scuffle at his home stadium' and that 'Cunha was seen beating Ipswich guards with his hands and taking off his glasses' and 'Wolverhampton was sent off for a scuffle with Ipswich after opposing striker Jack Taylor scored a theatrical goal. Several more players erupted in anger after the game, and coaches had to stop them. Cunha said he was seen aggressively approaching an Ipswich security team man, elbowing him in the back of his head, hitting him in the face, explaining that Cunha's actions could face future disciplinary action.

Wolverhampton players have already been deprived of their captain's armband after the previous league game, against West Ham, when Mario Lemina clashed with his opponent Jared Bowen and became angry with his teammates.

At the time, British media reported 'Lemina initially refused to shake Bowen's hand, which Bowen argued. Then he pushed Bowen. 'My teammates immediately stopped Lemina, but the scuffle continued for a few minutes.' In some videos released on social media, Lemina even showed her anger after the scuffle, pushing her teammates and arguing with the coaches. Later, Lemina was deprived of her captaincy. Instead of Lemina, he announced that he would entrust Nelsong Semedu with the captain's armband, and the captain was replaced.

Wolverhampton, meanwhile, decided to replace Gary O'Neill after the defeat at Ipswich. Wolverhampton announced on its website on the 15th that `Coach O'Neill and his staff have been separated from the club.'




Wolverhampton is going through a difficult time due to Hwang Hee-chan's poor performance, extreme performance problems, controversy over the team's behavior, and the replacement of the coach. If it fails to rebound quickly, it is expected that the season spent in the Championship (second division) will come again after the 2017-2018 season.
